Overview

Lian, a scholar in the desert city of Al-Qamar, wakes with a stolen memory in a world where the moon is an engine used to harvest human emotion and enforce peace. Seeking answers, he allies with Nouran, an exiled princess, Suhaim, an eccentric map-maker, and Salem, a stoic warrior from the Black Sand Tribe. Their quest leads them to the buried control center of the empire, where Lian uncovers a devastating truth: he is the reincarnated Architect who built the system centuries ago to suppress the grief of his wife's death. When a corrupt merchant named Mihar attempts to weaponize the Lunar Core, Lian chooses to destroy his life's work. The resulting explosion returns stolen memories to the people but shatters the containment field holding back the Sand-Kings, ancient insectoid horrors sleeping beneath the crust. As Al-Qamar is consumed by the desert, the group leads a desperate exodus across the lethal magnetic dunes. Guided by nature and grit, they reach the Star-Metal Ridge, which is revealed to be the hull of an ancient colony ship. After Salem sacrifices his life to defeat a guardian construct and save the refugees, the survivors establish a new settlement. Lian rejects the ship's dormant technology, choosing instead to build a future defined by resilience, community, and the acceptance of painful truths rather than artificial silence.
